David Mark Resigns from PDP, Joins Opposition Coalition

Former Senate President David Mark has formally resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ending a decades-long association with the party he helped establish.

In a resignation letter dated June 27, Mark cited the PDP’s entrenched leadership crisis and irreconcilable internal divisions as the reasons for his departure.

“The irreconcilable differences in the PDP have subjected the party to public ridicule and reduced it to a shadow of its former self,” he wrote.

Mark’s exit comes on the heels of his appointment as one of the interim leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a coalition-backed party that reflects the shifting dynamics of Nigeria’s political landscape.

Addressing the PDP leadership in Otukpo Ward 1, Benue State, Mark reflected on his unwavering loyalty and contributions to the party over the years.

“You may recall that over the years, I have remained firm and deeply committed to the ideals of the PDP. Even when nearly all stakeholders departed the party after the 2015 presidential election defeat, I pledged to remain the last man standing,” he stated.

He added that his efforts to rebuild, reconcile, and reposition the party were instrumental in restoring the PDP’s national relevance.

“Recent events marked by deepening divisions and persistent leadership crisis have made it impossible for me to continue,” he lamented.

Mark said his decision followed extensive consultations with his family, political associates, and friends. He also confirmed his next political step:
